VIPSHOP is the shopping mall...

anyway you see it says Item66 = 1060024 so ItemAmount must = 67

07/29/2009 21:16 blade911#4

If im adding the scroll do i need to add an icon in my client or anything?

If it's a completely new item, you'll need to create an itemminicon, and mapitemicon, aswell as adding it into the itemtype.dat

It should be self explanatory once opening the files, goodluck.

Okay erm...

I was going to copy the itemminiicon and mapitemicon but i cant find which ones match to a scroll. When i opened itemtype.dat it was all random characters too...

I believe you need a decryptor for the itemtype.dat

I believe it's called DatCryptor. Should be able to find it on the forum somewhere.

You can also search a wdfbatcher, to extract all images for items from the itemminicon and mapitemicon ani files. That way you can find an image you find appropriate for your item. Otherwise, you can always add your own item images.

Sorry to be annoying xD,
but could you upload DatCryptor, the maker has been banned so I can't find a link

Here you go.

Simply drag a copy of the ItemType.dat onto it, it'll decrypt it into a notepad doc. When you're done making changes, drag it again, and it'll make it a .dat file again.

Make sure to keep a backup of the original ItemType.dat incase.

Okay, so im pretty much done... Although i dont know how to assign the icons to the scroll...

So i have a lovely working scroll that appears as a flower.

Well just as an example. Open ItemMinIcon.ani and you will see stuff similar to...

Code:

[Item1100024]
FrameAmount=1
Frame0=data/ItemMinIcon/723117.dds

You'll want to add your item into this, with a path to the image you would like to be used.

Code:

[Item[COLOR="Red"]YourItemID[/COLOR]]
FrameAmount=1
Frame0=data/ItemMinIcon/[COLOR="red"]ImageToBeUsed.dds[/COLOR]

Simply find the Image for a scroll in your data/ItemMinIcon folder in the client.

Now open the MapItemIcon.ani, it's pretty much the same deal. As you can see below, the only difference is, the first line doesn't have "Item" before the ID.

Code:

[136303]
FrameAmount=1
Frame0=data/MapItemIcon/136700.dds

Thank you so much for that!
I would recommend you combine all of the posts into a tutorial, it would help alot of noobs like me xD!

I had already released a tutorial in the past, but it didn't get much attention so I removed it. Figured it works better to help as people ask.
